“This is a quick and easy way to spice up rice. Saute instant rice with onion, red bell pepper and green bell pepper. Then simmer with tomatoes and tomato juice and you've got a savory Spanish-style rice.”

This recipe was good; I liked it better than the rice I eat out of many Mexican Restaurant. Something to look out for: When I increased the serving size to 20, it increased the number of vegetables: 4 onions, 4 red peppers, 2 green peppers. It was too much, I used one green pepper, one red pepper, one yellow pepper, and one onion, and that was great. I added chili powder, diced tomatoes with green chilies and chicken broth. It was great. This is a keeper.

My husband, the rice freak, LOVED this recipe and asks for it about once a week! Very easy to make and flexible enough to sub if you don't have everything on hand. I was out of tomato juice, so used a small can of tomato paste with equal amounts of water. Worked just great!

This is excellent. I adore spanish rice and hadn't found a recipe this good in the last twenty years. I did omit the mustard and didn't read carefully.I used two large peppers one orange and one green. I also cut up one roasted Chile.Yum. This was so good, I ate way too much. Thank you for submitting this recipe. Lal667

I was looking for a spanish rice with ground beef and minute rice (using what I had on hand) I lightly browned the hamburger, drained it, added it back to the pan with a lg chopped onion (I didn't have any peppers)rice, and 1/2 T. of oil. Sauted until onion was tender, added the tomatoes & salt. I didn't have tomato juice so I mixed 3/4 of a sm can of tomato paste with 1 1/4 c water (a little more than the cup of juice called for, but I thought I would compensate for the addition of beef) I also added a 4 oz can of diced green chilis, drained and 1/2 tsp of cumin. Turned out excellent! I've made this early in the day so I can refrigerate it and warm it later for better flavor as suggested by another review. Next time I will make this recipe as it is called for to give it justice, but it sure was good like this. Thanks!

Just made this and it was GREAT! We substituted 2 cans of diced tomatoes for the 1 can plus juice and it was fine. I think next time we might cook the peppers and onion a bit more before adding the rice as they were a bit crisp for our taste. Great recipe. Will definately make again!
